    Time Traveler..

    Got to check out this link... A short clip about a collector going back in time looking at old Megos in a toy department store. Not sure if others have already seen this short and sweet film

    All those wondrous dime toys especially the packaged monsters and megos..

    Wish I had a time machine so I can pay a visit to "Kresge" to sweep off the delicious looking megos straight to checkout and see what people do in the seventies wear and do their own things

    The link below for viewing

    That is a trip back in time we all would like to take.
    Too many toys. Not enough space!

        That's part of a great documentary made by Ray Castile. That scene is almost the toy collector version of pornography.

            I don't know why, but it makes me so sad!

              I love this opening scene with the kids under the Christmas tree tearing open MIP Star Wars and Megos!

              I'm watching the rest of the doc now and quite enjoying it (the audio is a bit harsh... VHS transfer). It's interesting to note how them mention the controversy surrounding the Monster Toys and Models.

                THAT is a wonderful video. I wonder if that was all from his collection or if others chipped in for that shot?
